How Are We Going to Say Goodbye?

Description

Some questions don’t have answers — they just have weight.

How Are We Going to Say Goodbye is a meditation on the promise buried inside every lasting relationship: that one of you will have to let go first. Written from the sleepless hours when the mind won’t stop asking what the heart can’t answer, the song moves through love, memory, and the quiet terror of loss — not as abstraction, but as something already in the room.

At the center of it all is a slightly out-of-tune family piano — not a flaw, but a character. The kind of instrument that has absorbed decades of a household’s life, and sounds like it. Guitar, flute, and synth bass move around it, giving the song space to breathe without letting it drift too far from the intimate and the personal.

The lyrics draw on a doctor’s intimate familiarity with mortality, and on something more personal than that. A vow made. A couple witnessed. A question whispered into the dark.

For anyone who has loved someone long enough to start counting the years — and wondering about the ones that remain.
